thank you for this. i recently got out of my first wlw relationship and it was really tough for me. i realized how hard it is for me to be completely vulnerable around others and that opening up to people is something i really need to work on. even through this though i still have trouble with attachment. i get attached to people way too easily and can share information about myself easily but when it comes to vulnerability about my deepest thoughts and emotions in general ... i can't do that. and i've really been trying to work on it recently. my ex encouraged me to become better at communicating my thoughts and feelings with other people and i think ive really gotten at least a little better. still making progress and really hoping to see a lot of growth soon.
